What counts as quality in #EdResearch? @LaurGoldenberg & I propose this framework for #ResearchWorthUsing:
1. Relevance of question
2. Theoretical credibility
3. Methodological credibility
4. Evidentiary credibility
5. Relevance of answer

New paper from me and @angrist_noam!
We look at targeted educational instruction in developing countries.
We find that implementation quality strongly predicts program treatment effects.
We run a new RCT attempting to improve implementation and see large increases in impact!

New study on the distinction b/w empathy and compassion. We find empathy = more self focus & negative emotion, whereas compassion = more other focus & positive emotion. Moral implications?

The State has the opportunity – and the power – to sustain BART, or let BART and the Bay Area economy fail.
ALT We can't afford to lose transit Don't let BART go broke The COVID-19 pandemic changed how Bay Area residents live, work, and travel. It hit BART and all other public transit systems hard, decimating transit ridership and, along with it, the transit fare revenue we rely on to keep trains running. We are in an unprecedented moment, with the survival of BART at risk. While many workers, students, and our neighbors who depend on BART continue to ride, others have returned to transit more slowly and less frequently. The Bay Area has the highest work-from-home rates in the nation, and slowest downtown recovery, resulting in fewer commute trips. Financial support from the state for transit operations, in the form of a multiyear funding commitment beginning with the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget, is needed to make sure BART survives and thrives.

“Adaptions occur not just on the level of ‘what works’ for pupils but also on the level of ‘how to make it work’.”
Understanding implementation is therefore critical for identifying & redressing the barriers in our systems, which give rise to disparities in student outcomes.

"Applying implementation frameworks to improve ed research & practice requires a shift in our approach to conceptualizing, producing, & using evidence. These span systems for data collection, evidence generation, & knowledge sharing", says @mindmannered. rb.gy/1pdj5j

Why do district offices' attempts to tackle systemic ed inequities often fail? @Meredith_Honig points to the promise of an institutional approach that surfaces & recasts premises that drive individual practices, policies, and organizational arrangements. shorturl.at/bdhzX

BREAKING NEWS on teacher attrition in the pandemic era. In this new @caldercenter flash brief, we (@RoddyTheobald) use @waOSPI data to update SY 2021-22 to 2022-23 attrition. The trend is definitely up, see: caldercenter.org/publication…

In 2018, "Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial" was published in the British Medical Journal.
It sought to determine if wearing a parachute when jumping from a plane had any impact on survivability.
It did not.
1/n. Why apply #ImpSci to education? Since learning emerges from rapidly-changing experiences & high-intensity social interactions “dense w/ discretionary spaces” (@deborah_ball), instruction must continually adapt. @wtgrantfdn bit.ly/ImpSciEvidSys
"Whether framed as a problem of practice or research use, understanding implementation is critical for identifying & redressing the inequitable distribution of resources, facilitators, & barriers...which give rise to disparities in student outcomes." rb.gy/1pdj5j
9/n. Three goals: (1) Engineering – Improve education practice & outcomes. (2) Science – Advance evidence base about what works, for whom, when, & why. (3) #Metascience – Build evidence base about #ResearchUse & #ResearchImpact in education.
